B247, AMNH 70.3/4192 Bubuksah

"Brahmana Çiwa en Buddha hebben de gunst van God verkregen. Characteristic disregard of planes, man on tiger, soaring diagonally across picture, another catching at his hand. Spirited & dull. Brahmana Shiwa dan Buddha mendapat pertapaan. Large, Good, Full background, colour."

"man riding a leaping tiger, holding a second man by the hand": This painting is a parable of the two alternatives forms of meditation, that taken by the Siwa-worshipping Gagak Aking, who performs asceticism and withdraws from the world, and that performed by his brother, Bubuksah, a follower of Tantric Buddhism, who eats everything and indulges the sense. When a tiger comes to fly them to heaven, it is Bubuksah whom it invites to ride on the back, and Gagak Aking has to grab the tail as the beast flies up.
